TIE NAIL POOL :


"Cold Short Thinks tho Present Plan Not n
Good One. S.
In the current issue OF the Ace Of Steel
Mr.. P. II. Moore ("Cold Shorty, Of this
city, suggests that the proposed nail pool
10 embrace the mills Of the whole country
cannot be carried out. He Gays: ii.2
There must either be natural, a de.
ienaive or q geographical community Of
interests. Neither OF tho first has ever
had an existence other than hypothetical,
simulated for not unaelfsh purposes. Tbs
latter, the geographical, has never had q
proper trial, because tho applications
heretofore have also been too comprehen.
Bive-taken in too much territory, endeav.
ored to herd In one fold too many incom.
patible interests and diverse influences.
A plan on this geographical principle
might be suggested which would include
the factories in the Wheeling district
only. There shsuld be homogeneity Of
interests among thcae, a concurrence Of
methods, q reciprocity Of management.
They are close neighbors, so near that
daily intsrcommunication Is easy. In ad-
dition they are occupants OF the district
In which modern nail making had ite
origin; It's first substantial progression,
and the first pre-eminent reputation ever
gained for the business, establishing it "a
distinct, q prominent branch OF manu-.
featuring, was won by Wheeling sbility,
skill, perseverance, and ingenuity, backed
by Wheeling capital. It Is the recognized
headquarters Of the business, for Wheel-
ing's trade insignia is stolen aud naila
made hundreds of miles from Wheeling
are sent out into the trade branded
wheeling Nails" Whesliug's prestige
is the ngis under which too many Of them
operate. t7t Z 1,g. ~. ",
The ton factories in the Wheeling dis
tsict, 1t seems reasonable, could enter into
o syndicate, an alliance Offensive and de.
fensiye which would control tho trade,
without interfering illegitimately with the
business OF the buccaneers outside, who
ever have disorgsnized and demorsllzsd
the business and who will continue this
syatem OF depreciation until central pow
er Is established that will hold them level
square up to honorable competition.
l do not mean to insinuate that the nail
men Of the Wheeling district have never
descended to unbusiness-like methods, for
I know better, but do assert that these
practices were unknown in the business
before or until 60 many of these outside
factories we're built and tho trade became
predatory one, and the Wheeling dis
trict nail men, az q measure Of seli-protec-
ton, had ITO fight the devil with fire." I
also, with aome othern, believe tina. an en-.
tirely harmonious, reciproca.ive, concur
rent and interdepsndent alliance between
these ten Wheeling district nail factories
would sbste i noteEsdicate these nnwhoIe.
reputable methods aud bring the nail
business back into the rauka OF prosperous,
legitimate and estimable business pus-
suitu. When discussing this nail bupiness,
I am not aiming in any particular direc.
ton, but shooting with 3 scattering gun,
and only the CALLED jadea need vince. af
